 Welcome . . .
This is the 98th consecutive year that our communities have supported the Utah State
Junior Livestock Show. That support is not given lightly in this day and age when there
are so many other youth activities that compete for both time and money. I believe that
the continued financial and man hour support is given because people recognize that
the Livestock Show provides valuable experience to our youth. It provides lessons in
their youth that can be used throughout the rest of their lives.

The volunteers that work to put on the stock show have accumulated hundreds of
years of service between them. Some have served for over 25 years. Some will
serve for the first time this year. All are dedicated to making this the best experience
possible for our youth. I cannot express how grateful I am for all the great people that
help make the Utah State Junior Livestock Show the success that it is.

All of us will make the 98th Utah State Junior Livestock Show another great
experience.

 UTAH JUNIOR LIVESTOCK SHOW ASSOCIATION OFFICIAL RULES
2022 Show Season
These rules and guidelines are aimed at standardizing junior livestock shows in Utah. Standardization will help
provide the best possible educational experience for the young people in the state of Utah who have 4-H or FFA
livestock projects. The Utah Junior Livestock Show Association is given this responsibility by the Utah
Administrative Rule R65-8 and Utah Code Section 4-2-103(1)(i), 103(1)(m) through the Utah Department of
Agriculture and the Utah Legislature. These rules are to be in effect at any show receiving funds through the
Association. Every effort has been made to insure the accuracy of this information as it is distributed or published
by member shows. However, exhibitors are cautioned that the current rules and regulations of the Utah Junior
Livestock Show Association, as interpreted by the officers of the Association, will take precedence over such
listings due to the possibility of typographical error or inadvertent omission.
• • A Total Experience:
Exhibitors are encouraged to participate in the complete educational opportunity that junior livestock shows provide,
such as the rate of gain, carcass, fitting and showing, record book, and livestock judging contests along with the
judging of market and breeding animals. It is the purpose of these projects to develop life skills, animal husbandry
and marketing skills among the participants.
• • Tagging:
All animals must be tagged with standardized tags to be eligible to show at any Utah Junior Livestock
Association supported show. Exhibitors will be verified as 4-H and FFA members in good standing by their
county office or FFA advisor. Contact your county extension staff, FFA advisor, or show director for specifics
on tagging animals and being verified within your county.
A. GENERAL RULES
1. Age: -- Utah 4-H Age Divisions are based on a child’s school grade. The Utah 4-H year will begin on
September 1, 2020
• Junior 4-H Members 3rd* through 5th Grade
• Intermediate 4-H Members 6th through 8th Grade
• Senior 4-H Members 9th through 12th Grade
*Youth MUST be age 8 AND in 3rd grade to participate in large animal projects. Youth turning 8 AND in
3rd grade may participate after their 8th birthday during the 4-H year. Please note that youth must turn 8 by
the ownership deadline (100 days prior to the show for cattle, 60 days prior to the show for sheep, goats,
and hogs) to participate in the livestock program.
2. Group Affiliation -- An exhibitor may enter a given show only as a 4-H or FFA member, but not both. Exhibitors
must declare one or the other at time of entry.
3. Ownership of animals - The exhibitor will own, possess, feed, and care for his/her project animal(s) for not less
than 100 consecutive days for market beef and 60 consecutive days for market swine, market sheep and market
goats immediately prior to the opening day of the show in which they intend to participate. No interruption of
ownership or possession can occur. Every Grand and Reserve Champion will be tattooed in the left ear with a CH
for champion. Animals with this tattoo are not eligible to enter and show in any association member shows.
4. Fitting on show grounds -- Parents, guardians, siblings, club leaders, extension/4-H agents and FFA advisors
may assist, and are encouraged to assist the younger exhibitors. However, each exhibitor must be working with the
project animal and be in attendance with that animal during the entire fitting process.
5. Code of Ethics (rules 5a through 5i) – The following practices or procedures are unacceptable in the care, fitting,
preparation and showing of all classes of livestock. Any violation of association rules or specific rules as designated
by individual fairs and livestock shows may result in forfeiture of premiums and awards, disqualification, and may
result in probationary status and/or loss of eligibility for future participation in Association member shows. Possible
civil penalties may be imposed by the proper authorities based on evidence provided by the livestock show of
exhibitors in violation of the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic act/or the animal mistreatment, neglect, and
abandonment laws that apply on the local, state, and national levels. Other member shows will be notified of any
action taken by show management, which may affect the eligibility of the individual, group, or sponsoring
organization for participation at other shows. The decision of the livestock show management will be final. a. The
use of any drug, tranquilizer, sedative, or depressant, which alters the psychological or physiological state of the
animal, is illegal. Exceptions to this rule would be licensed, certified veterinarians, treatment for a recognized
disease or injury, or recommendation for tranquilizing breeding animals in heat that might compromise the safety of

7
others. The drugs must be approved by the Food and Drug Administration for use in meat producing animals. All
exhibitors will advise show management of any drug and/or medication administered to an animal that might be
detected at the time of showing or at meat inspection. The name of the drug, its purpose, the person who
administered the drug, time, and date of administration will be presented to show management prior to the showing
and sale of the animals. Failure to report this information will result in severe penalty and/or disqualification. Any
use of drugs or substances not approved by the Food and Drug Administration is strictly prohibited. All animals
entered into livestock competition will be subject to testing for foreign substances that exceed acceptable levels
established by the FDA, FSIS, USDA, or EPA. This includes any non-labeled feed additives or substances not
approved for that species. During the livestock event, in the case of an animal requiring treatment, all medication
shall be administered by a licensed veterinarian and the livestock show officials shall be notified. Use of an illegal
drug is considered a premeditated act and any information obtained in the practice of illegal alteration of any animal
will be turned over to the proper authorities for possible criminal prosecution.
b. Surgery, injection or insertion of foreign material under the skin and/or into the flesh of animal to change the
natural contour, conformation, or appearance of an animal's body is illegal. This includes vegetable oil, silicon, or
any other substance used to alter an animal’s shape. Acceptable practices of physical preparations, which are
allowed, include: clipping of hair, trimming of hooves, dehorning, or removal of ancillary teats.
c. Treating an animal internally or externally, with any irritant, counterirritant, or other substance used to artificially
change the conformation or appearance of an animal for show is considered unethical, inhumane, and is prohibited.
This includes, but is not limited to, the use of graphite, powders, hemp, artificial hair, coloring, common products
such as fly spray, ointment, or liniment used to the point that it is irritating, or similar type products. Any liquid or
substance not considered part of an accepted and normal diet for livestock is deemed illegal and inhumane. For
example: the use of alcoholic or carbonated beverages as a drench or filler, etc. Drenching will not be allowed unless
the show veterinarian or a show official is present and is needed for emergency purposes only.
d. Each exhibitor has absolute responsibility for the care and condition of the animal(s) they enter and bring to the
show.
e. The use of inhumane fitting, showing, and handling practices or devises shall not be tolerated. For example:
breaking of tails, striking of the animal to cause swelling or for bracing purposes, use of an electrical contrivance,
muzzles, etc. is not acceptable.
f. Direct criticism or interference with the judge, show management, other exhibitors, breed representatives, or show
officials before, during, or after the competitive event is prohibited.
g. Market grand and reserve champion animals that pass through a sale, may be drug tested, at the discretion of the
show.
h. At the time an animal is sold at auction at the livestock show, the exhibitors shall be held directly responsible for
animals that are rejected at the processing center for any reason. The seller may be liable to the buyer for an amount
equal to three times the purchase price and may also be liable for attorney's fees and civil penalties. Show
management may share acceptable intelligence and evidence information with FDA or USDA. If, for any reason, the
FDA or USDA inspectors must remove any part of a meat animal carcass, the market price will be discounted.
i. Show management reserves the right to require animal health certificates. Health inspection and diagnostic tests
may be made before or after animals are on the livestock show premises for exhibitor and animal safety, or to
inaugurate disease control procedures which may become necessary in emergencies as determined by animal health
officials.

6. Code of Conduct - All 4-H and FFA members, family members, and associates will exhibit good sportsmanship
at all times. Every exhibitor, family member and associate of exhibitor, is required to follow the Utah 4-H and Utah
FFA Code of Conduct at any Utah Junior Livestock Association sponsored event. Here are a few points from the
Code of Conduct that we want to remind you:

· Have positive character and behavior

· Follow guidelines and rules
· Be responsive to reasonable requests of show management and event staff
· Be respectful of the safety of others
· Dress appropriately, use appropriate language, and respect the rights of others
· Be respectful of property
· Do not behave recklessly, assault, threaten, or harm another person
Be aware that abuse of animals or people of any kind by any member or associate will be cause for disqualification
of the 4-H or FFA exhibitor. If any participant, volunteer, or associate violates the Code of Conduct or jeopardizes
the safe environment of any Utah Junior Livestock Association sponsored activity or event, that individual will be
subject to suspension from further Utah Junior Livestock Association activities. A suspension is appropriate if there
are multiple written statements regarding the aforementioned behaviors, and if measures have been taken to correct
the behavior with no change. Each situation is evaluated individually and will be discussed with county 4-H and
FFA faculty and staff as appropriate to determine when the suspension can or will be lifted.
7. Dress Code –4-H - A long or short sleeve shirt, which fastens down the front with a collar, is mandatory. Shirts
must be solid white in color and need not be Western style. Black or blue pants are to be worn. 4-H patch with the
4-H emblem must be worn on the upper left sleeve. Patches must be visible during the event. No patch or patch not
visible is not considered Official 4-H Dress. Acceptable patches include any previously manufactured USU patch or
other 4-H patches available for purchase through the 4-H mall that includes a big clover. These are available online
at https://shop4-h.org. Embroidered or screen printed 4-H clover emblem are acceptable. Questions regarding
official 4-H dress will be deferred to the Utah 4-H Website or the Utah 4-H representative in attendance of the show.
FFA - Either a white shirt, tie and FFA jacket, or a white collared shirt with the FFA emblem and tie.
The following will not be allowed: T-shirts, tank tops, tube tops, sleeveless shirts and vests.
Exhibitors who fail to abide by dress standards will forfeit prize money.
8. Sales Fee - A sales fee not to exceed 5% will be withheld from sales checks by all state-assisted shows. Any
purchaser(s) of animals from a Junior Livestock Show Auction must pay the Show the full purchase price of sale
regardless of buy-back.
9. Show Eligibility - Animals are eligible for any show for which they meet ownership and show requirements.
10. Change of Ownership - Once an animal has gone through any stockshow sale, regardless of buyback or no-sale,
it is no longer eligible to enter a state assisted show.
11. Lamb Docking Rule – Scientific research indicates that the incidence of rectal prolapsed is reduced when the
tail is docked in a non-extreme manner. The recommended method is to dock at the distal end on the caudal fold (3 rd
caudal vertebra). Complete tail removal (extreme docking) is not an accepted sheep production practice and is
discouraged for all Utah Junior Livestock sheep projects. Market lambs or breeding sheep showing any signs of
contagious disease or current or recent signs of prolapse, or with an open sore on the dock (rosebud), will be sifted
from Utah Junior Livestock Shows at the discretion of the state show vet at the time of weigh in and their
determination is final.

B. MARKET ANIMAL RULES:

1. Drug Withdrawal -- It is unethical and in most cases even unlawful to administer drugs to livestock within 20 to
30 days of slaughter. Animals too unmanageable to show should be withdrawn from their class rather than be
tranquilized. The local show committee and the show veterinarian will monitor this situation. By federal regulations,
random testing will occur at slaughter, and animals will be condemned which have been given any injection or oral
dosages of tranquilizers, pain killers, antibiotics, diuretics, steroids, or other foreign substances during withdrawal
periods before slaughter. All sales money will be withheld in such cases. Bloat medicine and other medications with
no withdrawal requirements may be permissible. Exhibitors need to be aware of potential health hazards to
consumers who eat animals that have received any above-mentioned substances. Please do not put someone's life in
jeopardy.
2. Tagging – Tagging policy and deadlines found at https://utahjuniorlivestock.com/junior-livestock-tags. Should a
tag be lost or pulled out of an animal’s ear, the exhibitor will advise the county extension staff, FFA advisor, or
show director immediately so that the tag can be replaced.
3. Entry Forms & Deadlines – Exhibitors must check with each livestock show for entry deadline for that specific
show. Exhibitors are responsible for mailing their own entry form. Entries postmarked by that date will be accepted.
Exhibitor must declare which animals are to be shown, and submit an entry form and entry fees to the appropriate
shows, including State Association ear tag numbers. The tag number and alternate tag number must be specified on
the exhibitor entry form to be eligible. Entries may not exceed the limits for each show (see form 4) including one
alternate animal per species entered. Forms must be signed by proper Extension/4-H agent or FFA advisor to verify
exhibitor and animals are a legitimate entry for the show they are entering. Extension/4-H agents or FFA advisors
should only sign forms for those youth enrolled in their programs. The Extension/4-H agent or FFA advisor and
parents will verify eligibility for group and family feeding programs.
Entry forms for fitting and showmanship classes must also be submitted by the entry deadline of the show and need
to indicate class to be entered (species) and age of exhibitor.
Entry fees will not be withheld from sales checks. Entry fees are to be sent along with all entry forms.

9
4. Poultry - In keeping with the desire to help eliminate disease problems, certain counties will not be eligible to
receive turkey poultry from the Moroni hatchery. Exhibitors may, however, have turkey projects along with family
commercial operations. An exhibitor will own, feed and care for his/her project turkeys for not less than 20 weeks
prior to the turkey show. Birds must not be more than 24 weeks of age at the time of the show.
C. BREEDING ANIMALS:
Exhibitors are encouraged to expand their scope of livestock project experience to include breeding livestock
projects.
D. RULE ENFORCEMENT:
The local show has the responsibility to enforce the rules and regulations at their show. Any further action needs to
be submitted in writing to the Utah State Junior Livestock Shows Association Board. Shows that do not comply and
enforce the rules adopted may lose Association funding. If immediate action is needed, the board of the Utah State
Junior Livestock Shows Association is empowered to make the ruling decision. The State Veterinarian has the final
ruling on lamb tail docking and any health issues.

CHAIRMAN Bryan Ottesen
COMMITTEE Cody Holt

Breeding Doe kid show

Breeding doe kid classes are used to encourage youth to gain more experience and
skills with their livestock project. They learn so much more about animal husbandry and
they help develop their own breeding programs. Breeding does should help provide this
experience and should be the exhibitor’s own animals. Borrowing or showing someone
else’s animal in breeding stock does not give youth this intended experience.

1. 2 does will be allowed but only one doe per class. If you end up with 2 in one
class you will have to bump one up. No bumping down.

2. Does will be shown by weight. Classes will be divided by the committee.

3. Does need to have milk teeth in place and be less an 1 year old

4. Does must have scrapie tags in place.

5. Does may be shown with hair or clipped.

must show their own market goat or breeding doe kid in the Showmanship contest.

2021 AWARD SPONSORS

A HUGE THANK YOU TO OUR AWARD SPONSORS . . . WITHOUT THE SUPPORT OF
THESE GENEROUS INDIVIDUALS, OUR LIVESTOCK SHOW WOULD NOT BE A
SUCCESS.
 UTAH JUNIOR LIVESTOCK SHOW SALE RULES AND
PROCEDURES
2022 SALE ORDER
Champions followed by a small rotation of species. For example 4 hogs,
3 lambs, 2 goats and 1 steer.
GENERAL INFORMATION
1. Sale begins at 10:00am on Saturday, May 7
2. Sale will be held in the main show arena
3. All animals are sold by the head
4. All Grand and Reserve Champion animals must sell and may be drug tested. They
will also receive a tattoo according to state rules.
5. No animals will be purchased without a buyer number. Buyer numbers are
available at the sales office prior to, and during the sale.
6. Payment for animals bought through the sale is due immediately.
7. All sales are final once an animal has been sold through the sale ring. No
buying back or trading animals will be allowed post sale
8. If an exhibitor loses their check a $25 stop payment fee will be assessed.
The fee will be deducted from the reissued check.

METHODS OF BUYING ANIMALS

Personal/Take Home Use
If you would like to purchase a market animal to eat, or a ewe lamb or gilt to take
home, use this method. You will bid on the animal and pay the FULL SALES
AMOUNT. After the sale is final, you will need to show your buyer number and tell the
ringmen where you would like your animal to go. If you are going to send the animal
to the processor for your personal use, simply tell the ringmen which processor you
would like the animal sent to. The processor will then contact you for cutting
instructions. Please note: you will be responsible for all processing fees in addition to
the purchase cost of your animal.
Boosting An Animal
If you do not want to purchase an animal for personal use, but you would still like to
support a Jr. Livestock Competitor, you can elect to “Boost” the animal. In this case,
you do not get to keep the animal. You bid on the animal and then PAY THE AMOUNT
OF THE FINAL BID MINUS THE FLOOR PRICE. The floor price is the market value of
the animal that the packer will pay to keep the animal and sell the processed products.
This method allows you to support students in this endeavor, and reward them for their
hard work. If selecting this option, bid on the animal and after the sale is final, show your
buyer number and simply tell the ringman you want to “boost” the animal.

For example: You boost a market steer. Your final bid is $1800.00; the floor price for the
steer was $1456.00; you would pay the final amount minus the floor price.

$1800.00 - $1456.00 = $344.00

(final bid) - (floor price) = (owed to boost the animal)
